>>99 I tend to agree, thanks to the corporate involvment in linux development it's pretty hard to see any kind of bright future for the platform, and it may already be compromised beyond recovery, but I do tend to feel that the worst of the bullshit is in userspace rather than in the kernel at the moment. Insidentally this is also why posix generally won't save you, and why posix emulation layers in other systems is a bad idea.
linux will become more convinient and more people will use it, but those aren't useful metrics.
All of this is rather pointless discussion. What /will/ save us? windows 95/98? OS/2 ? BeOS? the BSDs? templeOS? Or do we need to go the osakaOS route and make a denpaOS?
